Lyrics Jan & Dean – Roll Over Beethoven

I’m gonna write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local DJ
Yeah an’ it’s a jumpin’ little record
I want my jockey to play

You know, my temperature’s risin’
The jukebox’s blowin’ a fuse
My heart’s beatin’ rhythm
And my soul keeps a-singin’ the blues
Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news

I got the rockin’ pneumonia
I need a shot of rhythm and blues
I caught the rollin’ arthiritis
Sittin’ down at a rhythm review
Roll Over Beethoven they’re rockin’ in two by two

Well, if you feelin’ like it
Go get your lover, then reel and rock it
Roll it over and move on up just
A trifle further and reel and rock with it
Roll it over
Roll Over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues

Well, early in the mornin’ I’m a-givin’ you a warnin’
Don’t you step on my blue suede shoes
Hey diddle diddle, I am playin’ my fiddle
Ain’t got nothin’ to lose
Roll Over Beethoven and tell Tschaikowsky the news

You know she wiggles like a glow worm
Dance like a spinnin’ top
She got a crazy partner
Ya oughta see ’em reel and rock

Roll Over Beethoven
Roll Over Beethoven
Roll Over Beethoven
Roll Over Beethoven
Roll Over Beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues
